6 p.m. Thursday – at Pacific Union (0-0) | Stream | Stats
Headlines: Southern Oregon makes its season debut against the Pioneers, members of the California Pacific Conference who were winless in 25 games last season. The Raiders, picked fourth in last week's Cascade Conference preseason poll, will have a new look after losing all of last year's starting lineup that helped the team go 17-13. They'll play their first 11 games on the road while breaking in five newcomers. Click here to read the full season preview.

RAIDER WOMEN'S SOCCER (7-5-1, 4-4-1 CCC)
12 p.m. Friday – at Oregon Tech (10-4-1, 6-3-0) | Stream | Stats
Headlines: With three games left in the regular season, SOU enters Friday's game in seventh place but well within striking distance of a top-three seed. With a win at Oregon Tech, the Raiders could have their 14th consecutive berth in the eight-team CCC Tournament clinched by the end of the weekend. They dropped last year's matchup with the Owls, 2-1, and last won in Klamath Falls during the 2017 season, though they've tied two of the four games there since then.

No. 25 RAIDER MEN'S SOCCER (11-3-1, 8-1-1 CCC)
2:30 p.m. Friday – at Oregon Tech (7-6-2, 4-4-2) | Stream | Stats
Headlines: The Raiders fell one spot to No. 25 in this week's NAIA coaches' poll. They remain tied in first place with Carroll (Mont.), which was a 3-1 winner last Friday in Ashland before the Raiders rebounded with a 1-0 victory over Providence. The game at eighth-place OIT represents the biggest remaining obstacle to winning a second consecutive CCC title: The next (and last) two opponents on their CCC schedule, Evergreen (Wash.) and Northwest (Wash.), are 10th and 11th on the conference table. The Raiders come into the weekend unbeaten in their last seven CCC away games. They're 9-1-1 all-time against OIT with three consecutive wins in the series.

No. 5 RAIDER VOLLEYBALL (20-2, 14-2 CCC)
6 p.m. Friday – at Bushnell (16-8, 11-5) | Stream | Stats
7 p.m. Saturday – at No. 9 Corban (17-4, 13-3) | Stream | Stats
Headlines: A successful weekend on the road would give the Raiders a fairly clear path to their first conference title since 2019 and hosting rights for the CCC Tournament, but they're on their way to visit the fourth-place team in the standings and the No. 9-ranked team in the NAIA. The Raiders are tied in the loss column with Eastern Oregon atop the standings, and they wouldn't mind staying that way: A sweep of the regular-season series means they already have that head-to-head tiebreaker locked up. SOU defeated Bushnell in four sets the first time through the conference and lost to Corban in five despite serving for match point in the third. Last year, the Raiders won at Corban for the first time since 2015. The Warriors dropped out of first place last week with back-to-back losses at EOU and College of Idaho.
